Hampden County, MA 02 Congressional District, Several Democrats have questioned why it is necessary for former President Bill Clinton to make robo-calls on behalf of Richard Neal yesterday. The message, which sources said sounded garbled, (similar to all pre-recorded robo calls), was a last plea to get out and vote for Congressman Neal on Tuesday. The question: How bad is it, when Bill Clinton is making last minute calls into the District that is allegedly “Safe Democrat”? One has to ask why Robo Calls – Perhaps in response to a visit by Clinton which never materialized, (First reported by the Blog The Atlantic, then picked up by the Boston Globe. This Neal Campaign denied that this visit was ever going to take place, and that there was no need for Clinton to come to Neal’s defense. Of course, that was in August, before the Massachusetts Republican Primary, and one Tom Wesley, citizen running against Richard Neal. Apparently, there are several candidates across New England, getting last minute help from the former President and Democrat Icon, Bill Clinton.
Yesterday, Clinton came back into New England, this time, visiting four New England States, including Rhode Island, where he endorsed the Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate, Frank Caprio,, who last week, was summarily dismissed by Barack Obama in favor of the Independent Candidate, whom Obama endorsed instead.
One must understand that in the final day before the mid-term election, the last place one would anticipate hearing or seeing the Democrat Party Icon would be New England. This due to the fact that in past elections, the New England States have been reliably Democrat, to the point where the GOP virtually ignored all states, especially Massachusetts. This mid-term it appears to be a different story.
